Joe Jackson + Band @ The Pageant

Hope and Fury Tour 2026

Joe Jackson, born David Ian Jackson on August 11, 1954, in Burton upon Trent, England, is a renowned musician, singer, and songwriter. He gained fame in the late 1970s and early 1980s with hits like “Is She Really Going Out with Him?” and “Steppin’ Out.” Jackson’s music is characterized by its eclectic style, incorporating elements of rock, jazz, and pop.  He has released over 21 studio albums throughout his career.

Along with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, Joe Jackson was one of the three big “Angry Young Men” of the late ‘70s punk/new wave movement. His early records with his band (named after him), reflect said genre and his lyrics got him tagged as “angry”. After the disbandment of his band after Beat Crazy in 1980 (bassist Graham Maby stuck with him), he recorded albums that reflected different genres and were more less rocking such as Night and Day, Body and Soul, and most notably, Jumpin’ Jive, a covers collection of classic swing tunes. Over the years, Jackson has continued to push his sound in different directions and still records new music to this day.

Joe Jackson is returning with a brand-new studio set called – Hope and Fury.  It offers nine new songs. Jackson refers to the new album as a collection of “latinjazzfunkrock”, a combination that we already know that he is more than capable of.
